Alternatives to givedirectly dot org (lemmy.ml)

I want to make some cash transfers to some of the poorest people. The main gang doing this seems to be givedirectly.org , a USAn charity

I might just use them, as that barely hardly counts as using a USAn product. (Not sure if they pay tax to the USA/Israel? Maybe they are exempt?)

But if there's an alternative outside that would be slightly preferable.

It's a question other people are wondering about too: https://ea.greaterwrong.com/posts/nmxQmBQA6CDA8ycXp/why-is-givedirectly-seemingly-the-only-organization

This in turn links to:

https://www.greaterchange.co.uk/ – within the UK
https://100weeks.org/ – Dutch. Basically answers my initial question. Focused on women.
